·LD22: Due To Their Ineffective Nature
And The Serious Dangers They Present To The Republic, Universal
Background Checks for purchase of firearms are emphatically opposed by the
Republicans of LD22. Furthermore, we the Precinct Committeemen of LD22 beseech
the United State Senators from Arizona, John McCain and Jeff Flake, to reverse
their apparent direction and uphold their oath to protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States by voting against any legislation to enable
Universal Background Checks. the resolution passed unanimously in regular

A RESOLUTION OF LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT 22 REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE

MARICOPA COUNTY, STATE OF ARIZONA

IN OPPOSITION TO

UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR THE SALE OF FIREARMS

Whereas Republicans
recognize that any infringement on the right to keep and bear arms shall
require an amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

Whereas Republicans
recognize that the primary function of the Second Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States is to stand as a deterrent to tyranny; and

Whereas, universal
background checks are more of a deterrent to law abiding citizens than to criminals
and mentally ill, and requiring such will potentially reduce overall firearm
ownership in America and weaken our system's hedge against tyranny; and

Whereas, a cursory
background check performed by a clerk does not constitute full due process of
law, and denial of a citizen's Second Amendment Right without due process is a
violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States;
and

Whereas universal
background checks cannot prevent, with certainty, those with evil intent from obtaining
firearms; and

Whereas,
Republicans believe in order for legislation to be just, it must accomplish
it's statedgoal; therefore, be it

Resolved that the
Precinct Committeemen of the Legislative District 22 Republican Committee recognize
the dangers and ineffective nature of requiring universal background checks for
firearm purchases; and be it further

Resolved that the
Precinct Committeemen of the Legislative District 22 Republican Committee demand
that Senator John McCain and Senator Jeff Flake uphold their oath to protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States by not only voting against but
also advocating opposition to the universal background check legislation being
considered in the United States Senate, and any pending or future legislation
infringing on the right to keep and bear arms.

·Franks Resolution
Deems Obamacare Unconstitutional Under Origination Clause: After introducing
H.Res. 153,
a resolution deeming Obamacare unconstitutional on the grounds that it violates
the Origination Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Congressman Trent Franks
(AZ-08), Chairman of the Constitution and Civil Justice Subcommittee, today released
the following statement: "This is a basic Constitutional matter. Last
June, the United States Supreme Court upheld Obamacare on the grounds that it
is a federal tax, not a mandate. As such, it is subject to Article 1, Section
7, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, known as the Origination Clause. It
states, 'All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of
Representatives.' Obamacare, as a tax that originated in the Senate is, quite
simply, unconstitutional."

·Letter To Editor: Seeing
The Almost Endless Screeds About Banning Assault Weapons cries out for some
common sense. Assault is an act, not a thing. You can assault
someone using just about anything. If you take a kitchen knife and stab
someone, you have committed an assault; the knife in and of itself is not an
assault weapon. You can assault one or more people using a car, a
tractor, a baseball bat, a tire iron, a butter knife, your fists, a
pencil, a ballpoint pen, a golf club, a shovel, and the list goes on for a
long time. Should we ban all of them as assault weapons?

It's what someone
does with a thing that could make it an assault. A handgun or rifle is a
thing, it is not an assault thing. But in their zeal to try and disarm
citizens, some would try and make you believe that some particular gun is an
assault weapon because of the way it looks. That's just
stupid. I've seen pellet guns that look like a Russian AK-47.
How about a water gun that looks like an AR-15? Do you see how silly that
notion is when it comes to weapons? Cosmetic appearance of a thing is no
justification for banning it. It's people who decide to take a thing and
assault one or more people with it that is the problem, not the thing itself.

When I read about
elected representatives trying to tell us how smart they are when it comes to
banning this or that thing, a gun, they display their total ignorance about
guns of any kind, and the lack of understanding of the English language. –
Author, veteran and past LD9 Chairman Ray Spitzer.
